Portable bandsaw for metal

[ELL]

OK. I'm a cheapskate, so I have the choice of anything around 250 quid and under new. It has to be a portable one. I have one on a stand and it's doing my head in.
So, what are my choices here? I could go Static Arc(not sure if they're good quality), Scheppach, or whatever else is cheap enough.
Does anyone own a Static Arc and are they any good? Cheers.

Mains powered?

Using freehand I find difficult as the way they are held and the blade make it difficult to cut square.

Many of them have issue with poor quallity vices, I suggest one that has a threaded type vice and not a quick vice as they are terrible on a cheaper product. Thats if you use it in the included table stand thing.

I dont use mine, it will be for sale very soon as I really dont have space to keep it set up anywhere and other tools are usually quicker than getting it and setting up for the table. It is a £150 Ferrex Aldi one, identical I believe to the Scheppach, Lidl etc.. I have done a decent modification to the vice so that it grips very well.
Let me know if interested I will grab some photos.
